My Calling Is Profiler [EN]: Chapter 120

“But criminals think it’s okay if they don’t get caught.”

“It’s okay if they don’t get caught?”

“Yes, most criminals don’t think about systematic plans or possibilities for the future. The immediate moment is important, and they commit crimes for that.”

However, looking at these investigation records, one person had just gotten married and was looking for a new place, so they were deeply worried about where to go if the store failed or closed. The other was worried about the store because they were at a point where they would have to spend a lot of money on their children.

It’s natural that even if they wanted to change jobs, there was a very high possibility that they would not be hired elsewhere just because they were related to the incident.

“If there is a culprit among them, he won’t worry about the future.”

Because at the point of committing this crime, they would have given up on the store.

“But couldn’t they pretend to worry?”

“Of course, that’s true. But their worries include the store. This means they are accepting the store as a community.”

If there is a culprit among them, the sense of community would have already been severed, and they would not have worried about the store when they worried.

“A sense of community…….”

At those words, Kim Seong-han sighed deeply.

“Then who is it?”

“It’s probably someone in the supply line.”

“Supply line?”

“Because bread doesn’t have a barcode.”

“……?”

“The key in this case is that the criminals accurately identified where the contaminated food was and threatened [to expose it].”

Other ready-made products are one thing, but bread is impossible [to track without a barcode].

Because the product doesn’t have a barcode. But the criminals knew where it was going and threatened [the company].

“There aren’t many people who can look that up.”

“Are you saying it’s the delivery driver?”

“It’s either the delivery driver or the computer administrator.”

“Computer administrator?”

“Yes, bread doesn’t have a barcode, but where the ordered cake goes has to be recorded.”

For example, whipped cream sells well in some areas, so whipped cream will be ordered, and cheesecake sells well in some places, so cheesecake will be ordered.

As a result, the person who delivers and sorts it can only be the computer administrator.

“A computer administrator.”

This is something I never even thought of.

“But it’s not strange. In fact, the computer administrator is a surprisingly safe position.”

Even now, Kim Seong-han is mainly suspecting the producers.

‘In fact, the police are also suspecting that situation.’

So there’s no way a proper investigation can proceed. But if you change the progress of the case from the subject of bread to the subject of delivery, you can see that there are various restrictions on tracking.

“But the person doing computer administration work can’t even access the bread in the first place?”

Of course, the workplace is completely separate. A person who does computer processing is an office worker, and office workers cannot access the factory.

“Don’t they know how important hygiene is in making food?”

Surprisingly, these large factories are extremely concerned about hygiene. If there is even one case of food poisoning, the repercussions are enormous.

So even the workers completely cover their bodies and wear masks.

Even the workers are like that, so if an internal employee who is not properly dressed walks around the factory, it will be noticeable.

In the first place, in order to enter, you have to scan the employee’s ID and leave it in the record.

“That’s true, but the chairman still doesn’t know the situation on the front lines.”

“What do you mean?”

“Bread delivery is not a high priority.”

“What do you mean?”

“There is only one delivery person.”

There is only one delivery person. Of course, when he arrives at the site, he unloads the luggage from the vehicle and delivers it into the store.

“In the meantime, the vehicle is completely empty.”

“That’s…….”

The chairman doesn’t know that well. In fact, he has no choice but not to know.

“You subcontract the delivery company, right?”

“Ugh!”

Because the delivery is done by a subcontractor. Surprisingly, this is how money is taken away by dividing it up like this in the Korean industry structure. Haneul Industries almost went bankrupt because of that structure.

Would other large corporations not do that?

“It’s a subcontract.”

“So that’s the problem.”

If you give a subcontract, the company that subcontracts has to save money, so of course, they only send one delivery person.

That employee often has to unload the products and even organize them in the refrigerator. Because it’s fresh food.

Especially in the case of cakes, it’s fortunate if there is an employee [at the store to receive the delivery], but if there isn’t, it melts quickly at room temperature if left outside.

“Even if you leave your seat for 10 minutes, there are many ways to access it [the delivery vehicle].”

And those vehicles don’t have locks. Because you have to open the door frequently while constantly delivering. So they only put on a latch.

“In Korea, there is surprisingly no touching of such abandoned vehicles.”

Because Koreans don’t touch those vehicles, most people don’t even think that someone will steal from them.

In fact, there are almost no such theft cases.

“On top of that, if there is a criminal inside the Samhan Group, it would be easy to get a vest with the company name on it.”

So even if someone sees it, they won’t think it’s strange.

“A delivery employee?”

Kim Seong-han bit his lip because it was someone he had never thought of.

“And if it’s an employee who manages that, he’ll probably know which places take a long time to deliver.”

Stores that open early with employees won’t take long to deliver [to]. Because the employee will take over and organize it.

“But in the case of stores located on high floors that operate in the form of coffee shops, delivery takes longer.”

You have to take the product to the front of the elevator, then take it up again, and then take it down one by one to the store.

If you calculate this and that, it would take at least 15 minutes. That’s enough time to mess with the food.

“And there will be access records, so it won’t be difficult to identify them.”

However, linking them to the other three is a completely different matter.

“I think it would be good to find the first target first.”

Park Do-joon said seriously. It was a race against time.

# Criminals Without Loyalty

Identifying the employee in charge of checking deliveries was not easy. There are log records, but the log record is that they accessed the server, not that they saw it.

“Of course, if you try to dig through the detailed logs, you can’t not dig them up, but in order to do that, you have to search all the computers.”

“Can’t you do it with just the server records?”

“It’s probably impossible. Moreover, there are not just one or two employees.”

There were as many as ten employees in charge of computer work, so it was impossible to know which of them had accessed the records. However, it is not possible to conduct an indiscriminate investigation.

“Hmm…….”

As Park Do-joon was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang. When he answered it, it was suddenly the team leader.

“Team leader, what’s going on?”

-Hey, is there anything coming out [from your investigation]?

“Would there be? There’s nothing suitable.”

-Isn’t there any way? They’re making a fuss upstairs, making a fuss.

“Why are they making a fuss at us when they’re the ones who screwed up?”

-Anyway, they caused an accident and they have to cover it up, but it’s not easy, so that’s why they’re doing that. They must be burning [with anxiety] because they touched Samhan Group, which is not just any place.

“Ugh, what are the other investigation teams saying?”

Officially, Park Do-joon was dispatched here after the incident broke out, but that doesn’t mean that the police aren’t running an investigation team.

-Well, now that it’s like this, they’re shaking up everyone to catch someone.

“I knew this would happen.”

If you shake up everyone, whether they’re suspicious or not, you’ll catch someone, and they’re putting pressure on them by calling them in unconditionally. It’s a mistake that often comes out in urgent cases.

“But that doesn’t mean anything will come out of it.”

This threat is basically a one-off. If there is continuity, it is easy to identify the other party, but because there is no continuity, it is impossible to know who it is.

For example, if they were watching TV alone at home at the time of the threat, the police have no way to prove that it is a lie.

If they are suspicious, they can check their card details or movements, but it is impossible to check that for hundreds or thousands of people.

“They say they can’t give the data for the account that made the threat, right?”

-That’s right, well.

The threat was made by email, and because it is not a Korean company but a foreign company, they say they cannot provide the data or the subscription account.

‘Well, it won’t mean anything, but.’

Even if they give it, it is likely to be a fake account. Simple email use does not require much security.

“Ah!”

At that moment, one possibility came to Park Do-joon’s mind.

“I’ll call you later.”

He hurriedly hung up the phone and approached the person in charge and asked a question.

“Please find someone who has recently changed jobs or whose position has recently been changed.”

“Recently?”

“Yes, within the last year. They were probably working in the confectionery area.”

The reason why Park Do-joon suspects such a person is simple.

‘They committed the crime with other guys.’

They committed the crime together with other guys. But the problem was how they met.

If they were all in confectionery or bakery, it could be said to be a coincidence.

But two are confectionery, one is ice cream, and one is bakery. Surprisingly, all three are food, but the distribution lines are completely different.

The reason is that confectionery can be operated with just one truck, but ice cream requires a refrigerated truck, and bakery requires a refrigerated vehicle, not a frozen one.

“Just a moment. Personnel records are a bit different…….”

The person in charge checked the records and soon became happy.

“There is one person who has been transferred.”

“What was their original position?”

“They were in charge of confectionery.”

But this time, they were transferred and came over here.

“Can I see the performance?”

“This person’s performance?”

“Yes, to be exact, I want to see the performance of the department they originally belonged to.”

“That’s not difficult.”

Park Do-joon received the printed documents and turned them over one by one. What products are going out, what products are popular, and how much sales are secured, etc.

“Hmm, it’s still strange.”

“What is it?”

“The workplace is in Seoul.”

To be exact, Myeongdong in Seoul [a popular shopping district].

“But if you look at the records there, there are surprisingly many unpopular products. To be exact, things that foreigners don’t like very much.”

Myeongdong is a neighborhood famous for tourists. But would tourists buy unfamiliar drinks? Of course, they can buy them. After all, they are all unfamiliar things and they come to experience them.”
